Author's Note

Thank you for picking up Haikyu!! volume 35! While I was working on the material for volumes 34 and 35, I attended an event at the Jump Exhibit. For the first time in a while, I had the opportunity to listen to Kochikame mangaka Akimoto Sensei speak. I only feel like I’m having fun about 10 percent of the time when I work on my series. I’m mostly just exhausted and feeling like I want to run away from it all. But I think that Akimoto Sensei's words will become the last bastion I can lean on – "Creation is never a painful thing."

Synopsis

Day 3 of the Spring Tournament gets off to a calamitous start when Karasuno makes a critical mistake and loses the first set to Nekoma! In the second set, Karasuno tenaciously attacks while Nekoma pushes through the long and grueling rallies. Karasuno manages to build a slight lead, but Kenma's plan slowly takes effect, and Hinata finds that he's constantly out of position to attack.
